I too prefer the 116610lv due to the ceramic bezel and glidelock bracelet. But they are both great watchesName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1400936864.569430.jpg Views: 732 Size: 142.7 KB

Thanks for this post...I think the classic is simply a better , more elegant , balanced design by quite a long way...the bracelet and case on the ceramic just don't work IMO.thumbsup:

The 16610LV looks so much better...yes, just my opinion. I know the rolex galaxy is 50/50 on this

Love the non ceramic on this model. Nice balance between black and green.

16610LV for me, not a ceramic fan.

To me, the LV is the best of the 16610's - maxi dial and that great contrast between the black and green.

Contrast is what makes this watch unique. In bright sun, when the green satin bezel reflects the sky, the contrast is maximal.. just perfect. But as said, it is a 50/50 in rolex community between ceramic and pre ceramic subs!

Congrats. I prefer, obviously, the Hulk, mainly because of the green dial, which is gorgeous in the sun. But they are both very desirable watches.

Love them both but if I had to choose one it would have to be the non C.
